LOGAN,S DREAM.

The Deseret News, in a recent editorial,
tells the following story about the late
General Logan, which, if correctly stated.
shows the influence a dream ma have
upon a hardy, sturdy, obstinate nature,
such as the Senator. it is said, possessed:
1.-The late General John A. Logan is cred
tied with having been a firm believer in
dreams. He is said to have had one
dream which, had he followed with persist
ency the impulses it evoked, would have
made him a rich man. The man. whom he
took into his confidence on the strength OF
his superstition made several millions out
OF it. That man was John S. Routt, Who
was twice Governor of Colorado. He and
Logan had been army friends, and during
the Leadville excitement they were in con-
slant correspondence. One night Logan
dreamed that he had discovered a mine in
Colorado, and had made a fortune out of
it. He spoke rapturously to Amos Bah
cock. OF Canton, Fulton county, Ill.,, Of
this dream, and Babcock, a thoroughly
practical man, ~expostulated with him and
endeavored to convince him his sue
cess wasn't the creation OF a dream. It
was no use, however, for out to Colo
RADIO Logan went, met Gov. Routt, and
soon filed him with his own enthusiasm.
Together they went to Leadville, donned
red shirts and long boots. went out pros
pecting, built a cabin and sunk a shaft.
For a week or more they toiled when one
evening Logan said: John, I believe I'll GO
back to illinois. was never cut out for a
.niner.' Routt talked ~persuasively but
without avail. Seeing that Logan was de-
he finally proposed to buy him
out. "Whatever you think is right" he
said. II will pay you. OF course l will have
give you my note" gan laughed at
the seeming absurdity OF the transaction,
selling a half interest in nothing, and at
length accepted a note for $500, payable
in six months. The next day n. took the
stage coach to Canon City. and was seen no
more in Leadville. Governor Routt kept
on digging with the obstinacy that is such
a striking feature of his character, and
eventually realized Logan's dream. The
noted Morning Star" was the mine he
struck. After nearly 81, 200, 900 had been
taken out OF it he sold it in New York for
81, 800, 900, and Logan, still a poor man,
though restored TO political success, was
an unrecompensed Intermediary in the
sale.

MR.. BLAINE'S BOOK.

MuchSPeculation is INDUCED in as to
how Mr.. Blaine will present the attitude Of
the people OF New England during the year
OF 1912 in his Forthcoming history. Ii he
adheres to the views formerly advanced
Ee!by him there will be some very lively read
ing in it for his neighbors. 1t is well known
that OnSwo OF three occasions when he
was a member OF Congress, Mr.. Blaine held
up to the derision OF the world the attitude
of the New England States during that
memorable struggle. Massachusetts, in
particular, was severely denounced and
some OF the Others Jared but little better.
Mr.. Blaine's position in regard to the
war of 1872 was intensely Democratic.
When it was in progress that party was
in power and the Federalists opposed
them. They carried their opposition
SO far that they threatened to secede
from the Union and fo!m an alliance with
Great Britain. As it was they gave a
great deal of laid and comfort to the
enemy, and as a result the Federalist party
afterwards went to pieces and reappeared
in the form of the old Wing organization.
To hold up the Federalists to scorn was
a Democratic p4actice for many years, but
not one OF the great lights OF Jefferson's
party ever excelled Mr.. BIainein that labor.
His speeches in Congress on the attitude OF
the Massachusetts leaders are as fierce in
inyective and as caustic in ridicuIe as any
that were delivered at the time by indig-
nant Democrats, and it is unnecessary to |
that they caused intense feeling among
The descendants OF a people who burned
blue lights" on prominent places to warn
the invaders OF danger.
In his attacks upon the people OF the
New England States, Mr.. Blaine made
many enemies, and If, as the historian, he
ihalI carry his caustic sayings in his work
he number will be increased. Hence, there
8 much speculation concerning the manner
n which he will treat that matter in his
o%rthcoming book. 1t is quite likely, how
yer, that his intended candidacy for the
'residencyin 1888 may induce him to tone
lown his former bitiog comments.
